Two years later....
Having lived in England for two years, Gladis worked at a fast food restaurant. Gladis graduated from college two months ago, Mother Kiara only came alone to attend Gladis graduation because Al's father was sick.
Since Gladis left, Al's father has always been plagued with immense guilt for his son. Moreover, for two years now, Gladis did not want to meet even hear his voice, Gladis was reluctant.
Gladis had actually forgiven Al's father a year ago, but Gladis was not ready to meet his father. Hearing his father is sick, Gladis' heart is very hurt but Gladis' ego is still high and he has no intention to return to Indonesia.
The first year was the hardest for Gladis. Gladis could not concentrate at all, Gerrald's shadow always followed Gladis and Gladis always hallucinated about Gerrald.
But for the second year, his life improved a bit. Although Gerrald's shadow is always everywhere, but Gladis is not dizzy.
This afternoon Gladis had just returned home from the restaurant, not as an employee but Gladis decided to stop. After thinking about it, Gladis will return to Indonesia to see the state of his father.
Gladis walk because in the country of people, it is better to walk compared to ride a vehicle after all the distance from the restaurant to the apartment is not too far away.
"I will definitely miss this country" muttered Gladis with a smile.
While Gladis was walking, Gerrald suddenly saw a shadow standing before him stretching out his hands. At first Gladis stopped his steps, but after knowing it was just his hallucination, Gladis continued his steps with confidence and sure enough that when Gladis passed through the shadow, the shadow disappeared immediately.
Gladis sighed and developed his smile. After a few steps, Gladis again saw the shadow of Gerrald standing gallantly and looking more handsome.
"You're so handsome, Ge. But baby, it's just my hallucination, "inner Gladis.
Gladis accelerated his pace, he did not want to continue hallucinating Gerrald's whereabouts. Gladis is like a madman who always thinks of a man who has long disappeared.
Gladis walked by lowering his head, until finally Gladis arrived in front of the thought only hallucinations. Gladis' forehead hit the chest of the man's field.
Instantly Gladis raised his head, and the man who thought the hallucinations were real. Gladis reached out his hand and tried to touch Gerrald's face, and it was completely real.
"Is this real" exclaimed Gladis with teary eyes.
Gerrald smiled and pulled Gladis' body in his embrace. Gladis could not hold back his tears anymore, he was crying.
"Thank you for waiting for me" cried Gerrald.
"Hiks.hiks..hiks.."
Gerrald grew more and more hugging, indeed Gerrald could feel how Gladis had been feeling all along. The woman is so tough and strong.
Gerrald let go of his hug, he looked at the beautiful face of the woman he loved so much. One tear fell from Gerrald's eyes, and only this first time did Gerrald shed his tears.
"I miss you so much, thank you for waiting faithfully for me" exclaimed Gerrald.
Gladis was speechless, only tears could she show. Gerrald hugged Gladis again and kissed Gladis's head.
After shedding each other's longing, Gladis took Gerrald to his apartment.
"Let's go in," Gladis asked.
Gerrald saw that one suitcase was ready.
"Where are you going?"
"I'm going back to Indonesia, Ge. My father's been sick, for two years I've ignored him I feel so guilty."
"You don't hate your father, there's nothing wrong with him, he just wants to protect his son. As a police officer it is appropriate that he eradicates crime, let alone me who has committed many crimes."
Gladis nodded his head...
"Are you going with me?" ask Gladis expectantly.
"Yes, I will accompany you. Although I will be arrested later, it doesn't matter. I can see you, I'm so happy."
Gladis returned to Gerrald's embrace.
***
Gerrald and Darra arrive in Indonesia, and they are on their way to Gladis's parents' house. During the trip, Gladis held tightly to Gerrald's hand as if he was afraid of losing Gerrald a second time.
Gerrald knew that the woman was nervous and anxious.
"Don't be afraid, I won't do anything."
"I'm so scared, Ge. I don't want to be parted with you anymore."
Gerrald rubbed Gladis head affectionately while smiling. Until not long later, the taxi they were riding was in front of the house that until now had never changed.
"Gladis..."
"Mother..."
Gladis ran to embrace the mother, both crying broke. Until finally Mother Kiara realized that Gladis was not alone, Mother Kiara looked in the direction of Gerrald made Gerrald bow his head.
"What are you, Gerrald?" ask Mother Kiara.
"Yes, Madam."
Mother Kiara smiled and unexpectedly hugged the handsome man.
"I'm sorry for our mistake, son. We've separated you both."
"No, Mistress. Madam doesn't have to apologize because every parent wants the best for their daughter."
Mother Kiara let go of her hug and rubbed Gerrald's cheek.
"Thank you for coming back, thank you for bringing back Gladis' smile."
Gerrald smile...
"Let's go in, your father must be very happy with your arrival."
The three entered and Mother Kiarabawa the two to the back garden. There was seen Al's father sitting on a garden chair with his gaze staring far ahead there.
Gladis' eyes looked teary, slowly Gladis approached Father Al.
"Dad..."
Al's father turned his head and immediately stood looking at the sad princess he missed so much.
"Gladis..."
Gladis immediately burst into the arms of Father Al, the cries of the two broke.
"I'm sorry, Son."
"Gladis also apologized for hating me all this time."
"No son, you deserve to hate Dad."
Al's father let go of his hug and looked back, where Mother Kiara and Gerrald were staring at him.
The views of Al and Gerrald's father meet, they dive into each other's feelings. Unexpectedly, Father Al spread his hands towards Gerrald.
"Based on a brash son-in-law, you came here just to stand there? here hug your future in-laws," exclaimed Al's father.
Gerrald turned his head towards Mother Kiara, he smiled and rubbed Gerrald's shoulders. Then Gerrald turned to Gladis, smiling and nodding his head.
Gerrald stepped up and approached Father Al, Father Al hugged Gerrald with tears.
"You, what a great and powerful man. I believe that you can look after and make my daughter happy."
Al's father let go of his hug...
"If you dare leave my daughter, I will not hesitate to kill you."
Everyone ended up laughing together, no more jotos and shootouts. They all enjoy being a happy family.
